Snoop Dogg Says A Real DJ Would Know How To Move And Groove
[News] Let's be honest! Snoop's been in the music industry for a long time. He can share a thing or two about the industry with his fans. Snoop Doggy Dogg aka Uncle Snoop says a lot of DJ's were afraid to spin his records (Coolaid Summer 2016 album) in the club because it didn't carry the "same sound" or same rap style as what's going on in the club. This is one good reason why Snoop expressed this "but a real DJ would know how to move and groove. Not saying these youngstas aren't real DJs, but I'm watching. And when you come from the origins of Hip Hop, you respect the foundation and the foundation is dope. It feels good."
"I hate when I do good work [like Coolaid] and it goes … and then when I do work that's so-so, they like to promote it and push it and I don't be feeling good about that. But at the same time, I do feel appreciated that y'all recognize game."
"I have a movie coming out for Coolaid," he says. "I thought that record was dope, it was fly. I thought it was mishandled by the record label [eOne]. So what I did was put a movie together to help you better understand where I was coming from. That should be out in March to support the record." ….. Snoop

Hi guys,
Its my birthday today! The big 28! Its bloody scary to think I will be 30 soon. Anyway, you know in the summer, there are always certain things you carry round with you to keep you comfortable well, this is my list of things I carry round with me. If you are out and about or always on the hunt for things then load up your bag before you go out. This will really help you out. It will be a life saver, trust me!
1. Water – First things first. If I am out and about then I want to stay hydrated as I can't be bothered with a banging headache due to lack of fluids, so I tend to fill up a water bottle and drink this throughout the day. I know you can buy water when you are walking around but sometimes queues could be big, you are out of the way from shops or it's an absolute scorcher and the shelves are empty so it's always good to be prepared. Try and drink 2 litres of water a day, if you can drink more then go for it but this is a nice round figure. If you are going to be drinking later on, like we most often do on nice days, then your body and head will thank you in the morning.
2. Urban Decay Setting Spray (£9) – Don't get me wrong, I don't plaster a full face on in the summer months, but if I want to look fresh and made up then I will apply a small amount of makeup, focusing more on my eyes and lips. That's where a setting spray will benefit you. If I know I am going out all day and night and don't want my makeup to melt off, then I apply my foundation with a setting spray to give extra longevity and then I spray all over once my makeup is complete. This is just something I have done for a while now and I really notice a difference with it. I also like to take it with me as it acts as a cooling agent if you are burning up. This is not a miracle worker, meaning it will not keep all makeup on, it will just help with the length of time it stays.
3. Hydrating Spray - I always have some kind of water/hydrating spray in my bag and recently it has been the Avene Water Spray (£7). Although the setting sprays are just as good, sometimes I want a spritz of hydration and only these will do. If you overheat quite a bit or just want to feel refreshed, I would seriously buy one of these. There are loads on the market, but this is the one I go for as it doesn't have a scent and doesn't leave my skin feeling sticky. Mac Fix + (£13.50) is also another good one if you already have that in your collection.
4. SPF – In the summer months, I like to use skincare and foundations that have SPF in them to protect my face but I also like to carry round a little spray for any body parts that are on show such as my shoulders and feet as they burn the most on me. I like to use Garnier Ambre Solaire Protective Oil SPF30 (£7.50) as it reminds me of holiday and sinks into the skin nicely.
5. Powder – I have oily skin so I like to make sure my tzone area is shiny free. I reach for the Rimmel Stay Matte Translucent Powder (£3.99) as its doesn't add any colour to my skin but keeps my skin shine free.
6. Deodorant - It's a hot day, so get the deodorant with you!
7. Lip Balm - Keeping my lips hydrated is high on my list of priorities. I always have the Nivea`s Raspberry Rose Lip Butter (£2) with me as its nourishing, not sticky and smells amazing. I find lip butters work best on my lips and prevents them from drying out. When I come home from a long day I normally scrub them with a homemade sugar scrub or a Lush Lip Scrub and then layer on this lip butter to hydrate throughout the night.
8. Hair Clips (£1) - Gurrrl, you know hair clips are high on my priorities. I hate my hair flying about in my face and I can only have my hair down for about 2 hours tops so in hot days, I need it away from my face but also cute looking. Clips, bobby pins or hair ties are always in my bag regardless of weather if truth be told.
9. Sunglasses - My eyes are very sensitive so I always have a spare set of sunglasses in my bag but I am currently loving my Ray Ban Clubmasters (£125), they keep enough light out and look pretty as well.
10. Cover up - I live in Scotland so I never know what the weather is going to be like. It can be 30C one minute and then pissing down with rain the next so I always have a little cardigan or light rain coat in my bag just in case!
What are your summer bag must haves?

True Confessions, Photography Edition
Posted by Greg Scoblete on Friday May 20, 2016 | Fun
Photographers, especially pros, are expected to conform to a set of, if not standards, then expectations. Keep the mode dial firmly on manual. Don't say you're a "natural light" photographer. And so on. But in our unguarded moments, we've all slipped. The folks at Digital Rev TV are clearing the air with a series of raw, heartfelt... More ›

$379/month! Ouch! My 20Mbps/down 5Mbps/up FiOS for $45/month is looking really sweet!
Hey Leo,big techTV ZDtv and not so much G4 fan here
I just signed up for a Twitter acct. and wanted to find out how to add you to my following, as i would like to follow your twitter.
[…] can choose to automatically send a tweet when you post a new article on your blog (here's a demo) or automatically create a daily post (you can select the names of the posts, category and author) […]
Can someone let me know if getting Verizon FiOS is worth it. I currently have DSL with a wireless router to my laptop. I don't quite understand the Mbps stuff but I usually have a rate of 38-46 through the router. When I look at the description of the FiOS it appears to be slower unless I want to pay a lot more money. Can someone clarify for me? It's confusing.

Understanding Science
Let us take as our starting-point one fact on which most people would agree—that, at least according to some definitions of the word, there has been spectacular progress in some areas over the last four hundred years. These areas include physics, chemistry, mathematics, medicine, electrical engineering, astronomy, and space travel.
On the other hand, there are other areas where the achievement of knowledge has been much slower. There would probably be less agreement on the list, but perhaps it would include psychology, sociology, politics, management, law, philosophy, and theology. At least some people would take the view that, far from there being a steady, even if slower, progress in these areas, the movement is more like a following of one fashion after another.
You may say that the first group is easier than the second. Or you may say that there is less argument as to what would constitute progress. Or you may say that the first group consists of areas that are scientific, while the other is an area where scientific methods are less applicable—or not applicable at all.
Let us start with the last suggestion. I want to argue that we suffer from the manner in which the proper territory of science is usually defined.
People tend to confuse the methodology of science with its subject-matter.
Scientists generally succeed professionally by being expert in a specific subject-matter, and it is a striking fact that even the most successful and famous scientists often seem to have only the haziest idea about the philosophy of scientific method. They can make errors in their attempts to explain scientific method to the general public, and when they stray outside their own specific areas of subject-matter.
So it is easy to see how it has come about that what has been so spectacularly successful is seen as the area of a particular kind of knowledge about a restricted range of things. It is not seen as the area where a particular attitude and methodology are adopted. Science has come to be seen as having its own limited territory—outside which it is not competent to go, and outside which it would be undesirable to let it go.
However, if we look instead at the methodology which has been so successful, the question becomes one of whether there are different kinds of knowledge, each of which has to be discovered by a different method—or whether there is just one effective way to achieve knowledge, which can be just as successful wherever it is allowed to be used.

Every year around the French Open, news and stories about the king of clay, Rafael Nadal circulate throughout international news. However, it's not only his quarterfinal match with Novak Djokovic on Wednesday that is in the headlines, but also his $775,000 Richard Mille wristwatch that weighs about 20 grams, according to the Wall Street Journal. He wears the watch during his matches and has since 2010, when the watchmaker presented him with his first watch.
Watch sponsorships are common in the ATP and WTA tours. Usually though, players opt not to wear them during play but rather after matches and in public. Some players wear watches on the court, but none as expensive as Rafa's. Actually, most people in the world never wear anything that valuable in their lives.
This Wednesday is about as big a match as you can get in Roland Garros, when number one player in the world Novak Djokovic takes on the man who has won 9 French Open titles and is going for his 10th. The French Open is the only Grand Slam Djokovic has never won. Rafa is still not in top form after recovering from injury, but at this tournament, to be the man, you've got to beat the man, and that man is Rafael Nadal.
VFD connects brands with top athletes across all sports. The international sponsorship landscape, especially in tennis, is booming, taking advantage of tennis' far reach. Will Nadal keep his court or is it Novak's time to shine? Only time will tell.

One thing that you may not know about me is that English is my second language. I was about 9 years old when I got Selena's Dreaming of You album (her crossover album). I listened to it for hours. Dreaming of You was the first song I memorized. That was the first song that I learned in English. And that was the song that made me decide that I wanted to be a singer. Even though I'm not a singer by profession, I can say that I am a decent singer. Selena's Dreaming of You gave me that desire for it.
So in honor of her, I recorded it using the Smule Karaoke App.

The 1992/93 year group of the St. Mary's Senior High School, home and abroad has celebrated their 25 th anniversary.
As part of their contribution to improve infrastructure deficit in the school, the group renovated the ground floor of the two-storey building dormitory block which they occupied while in school to ease pressure on existing ones.
An elated Former Senior House Mistress of St. Theresa's House, Mrs. Florence Bekoe Addo and Father Destiny unveiling the plague.
A and O level old students from the group based in Ghana and abroad also donated items including computers, scanners and a printer to their alma mater.
President of SMOGA 1990/92 year group, Ms. Naa Afi Quarcoopome said the group while celebrating 25 years of exiting the school decided to give back to the school.
Naa handing over the key to Headmistress, Ms. Bramson
She explained that the St. Theresa's dormitory which housed them while in school had become inhabitable after 25 years hence the decision to rehabilitate it.
The ceilings, the floors, bedrooms and the washroom were rehabilated with each room provided lockers for the students. The entire building was also painted.
Naa Quarcoopome was grateful to all who contributed their quota to make the programme possible and pledged the group's continual support to the school.
SMOGA 1990/92 year group also presented gift to the school and awarded their headmistress and pass teachers.
Headmistress for the school, Ms. Doris Bramson was full of praise for the 990/92 year group for giving bacck to the students.
She said that prior to the renovation, the building was seen as a death trap as the ceiling was ripping off posing security threat.
"The contribution of the 1990/92 year group home and abroad has come in handy to the school…," she added.
Ms. Bramson said the massive contribution of old girls of St. Mary's has helped the school address its infrastructural challenges over the years.
The 25 th anniversary coincided with the school's 65 th speech and prize-giving day and deserving students and teachers were awarded accordingly.
On her part, House Mistress of St. Theresa's dormitory, Ms. Margaret Nyame expressed profound gratitude to the old girls.
She said the students who were moved to other dormitory due to the nature of the ground will return to their original rooms.
Ms. Nyame promised SMOGA 1990/92 that they would put the facility to good use and keep it fresh and neat.

When thinking of a desert scene, a cactus is the first initial thought. Our artificial saguaro cactus will bring the tropics to your home or office and create a brilliant talking point. See more product information...
Categories: Plants, Cactus & Succulents, Pre-Potted Plants, Office Plants, Large Plants
This product is designed for indoor use because it isn't UV stable. This doesn't necessarily mean that you can't use them outside.... we just don't recommend it.
Artificial plants are measured in a range of different ways.
The measurements shown on this page are accurate once the plant has been fully dressed out.
This product is available for immediate dispatch and is eligible for our upgraded delivery options. Delivery costs from £3.99 inc VAT.
The natural saguaro cactus is an arborsescent (tree like) species in the monotypic genus carnegiea. Native to the Sonoran desert in Arizona, the Mexican state of Sonora, the Whipple mountains and imperial county areas of California, the saguaro cactus can grow to be over 70ft tall. They have a relatively long lifespan and may grow their first arm any time after 75-100 years. Some will never grow an arm and are known as spears. Did you know? Harming a cactus (Also known as cactus plugging) is illegal by the state law in Arizona!
When it rains, the natural saguaros cactus will soak up the rainwater. The cactus will visibly expand while holding in the water and slowly consume it. Our artificial saguaro cactus isn't that clever; so luckily doesn't require any water!

We're typically used to hearing his own vocals on his infectious tracks, but this time around grabs alluring vocals from Sydney-based GRAACE, and it works perfectly.

For some time now, I have envisioned an image of an old doll in an abandoned house, playground, etc., with hopes of creating a mood, feeling or thoughts of who's doll is it, why was it left behind, how did it end of here, etc. With the housing crash several years ago, there are numerous subdivisions that were never built out which I have explored on my bicycle. In one such subdivision, I came across a children's playground and several benches that were overgrown. Since I don't own any dolls, I purchased an inexpensive doll at K-Mart, removed the clothing, and hung it up in my Jatropha hedge on the south side of my house for several months in order to give it a weathered look. Do I need to go back to the drawing board?
P.S. Prior to finding this abandoned subdivision, I attempted a similar image using an overgrown bench at my wife's elementary school. Probably the scariest day of my life as I walked onto a school playground, carrying a camera, tripod, and a doll. Oh, what the neighbors must have thought.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 4, 2011) - New Dimension Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:NDR) (the "Company" or "New Dimension") is pleased to report that title confirmation has been received by Minera NDR Peru S.A.C. ("NDR Peru") for the last original concession within the Company's Cenepa gold project ("the Property"), located in northern Peru.
"I am very pleased with our success in obtaining title to the last original concession which was staked in 2006," said Fred Hewett, President and CEO of New Dimension. "Now that the Company has received titles to all ten original concessions we can focus on advancing the Cenepa gold project, which represents a significant land position where mineralization as seen at Kinross' Condor Project in Ecuador, projects across the border into Peru. Management believes the potential for discovery here is significant."
About the Cenepa Gold Project
The Property totals over 9,000 hectares in northern Peru along its border with Ecuador and covers the southern projection of a 20 kilometre long north-south trending mineral belt that includes Kinross' Condor Project and the Fruta del Norte gold discovery.
The Condor Project, situated in Ecuador adjacent to the Peruvian border, was acquired by Kinross in September 2008 and hosts a NI 43-101 compliant Inferred Mineral Resource at the Fruta del Norte deposit of 13.7 million ounces of gold. Kinross has stated they intend to complete a pre-feasibility study shortly and expect to complete a full feasibility study within the first half of 2011.
Also within Kinross' Condor Project is the Aquas Mesas Sur prospect, which includes an announced drill intercept of 51.1 g/t gold over 9.2 metres. This prospect is the southern-most known gold occurrence within this emerging gold belt and is located only five kilometres north, and on trend with, NDR Peru's Property (http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/ndr-cenepa.jpg).
To date there has been very limited exploration in Peru in the area where the Condor Project mineral trend crosses the border. However based on the known trend of mineralization, a similar geologic environment and field results, the Company believes the Property is highly prospective for new discoveries. During the past year, NDR Peru completed two successful prospecting programs on its Cenepa concessions, which returned positive gold values from stream sediment sampling and outlined three gold anomalies with values greater than 400 ppb (http://www.newdimensionresources.com/i/maps/cenepa/2010-10-18_Rock_&_Stream_Sample_Au.jpg).
About New Dimension Resources
New Dimension is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of quality mineral resource properties throughout the Americas with a focus on significant bulk tonnage gold and silver deposits. In addition to its 100% owned Cenepa gold project, New Dimension has an option to earn a 100% interest in Strategic Metals' Gild gold property within a geological belt that the Company & Strategic Metals believes has similar characteristics to discoveries by ATAC Resources Ltd. in the Yukon (http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/ndr-gild.pdf). Drilling on the ATAC Property has returned significant gold values, as demonstrated by announced intercepts of 9.25 g/t gold over 31.1 metres and 24.07 g/t gold over 28.4 metres from over 25,000 metres of diamond drilling in excess of 130 holes. An initial exploration program is anticipated by the Company as soon as spring weather conditions allow. Subject to favourable results from this initial program and the receipt of all necessary permits, a drill program is likely to be carried out in the fall of 2011.
The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 and reviewed by Fred Hewett the Company's President & CEO, a director and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.

I'm seeing extremely annoying artifacts in images when using Chrome on Windows, but only from some hosts? Aressem's 2nd image above shows an actual stripe (screen-vertical) through the hand. If I view it in Edge, it renders normally. This always happens with forum-hosted images, and sometimes from other external hosts. SmugMug does not do this though -- If I post an image in POTN from SmugMug, Chrome renders it beautifully.
This image has a vertical stripe artifact going through the hand in Chrome, but looks fine in Microsoft Edge: https://photography-on-the.net …hp?p=17626161&i=i74358129
Anyone else able to reproduce? Any fixes? It makes some otherwise wonderful photos look horrible.

|The Challenges of Early Recovery
So, what are the challenges of early recovery?
Well, to start, once you're newly sober, you might find that drinking might have been a maladaptive way of self medicating depression, anxiety or other emotional problems. Alcohol might have done a "good job" of masking a mood disorder that is now more readily apparent.
Early on, when you first experience the discomfort of these feelings, you might be tempted to pick up again. But, before you do, recognize that many people have successfully stopped drinking and have learned new ways of coping with an underlying mood disorder that was masked by excessive drinking.

|The Challenges of Early Recovery
Aside from psychotherapy, getting social support in Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) or Rational Recovery is often the first best step in getting help to overcome the challenges of early recovery. Meeting other people, who have successfully navigated through the challenges of early recovery and who maintain their sobriety, can feel like a life line. "One Day At A Time" is not just an empty slogan--it's an important coping strategy. Getting phone numbers from A.A. members, reading the literature, attending meetings on a regular basis, and getting a sponsor are all important aspects in recovery.
|A.A. Meeting: During Early Recovery, Don't Go It Alone
Psychotherapy with a therapist who has expertise in early recovery can be helpful in dealing with the underlying emotional issues that often come to the surface when you stop drinking. An experienced therapist can help you to learn new coping skills to overcome a mood disorder and face life's challenges as a newly sober person. Beyond psychotherapy, you might need medication for a period of time to help you with the biochemical changes to the brain that alcoholism often causes.
Repairing your relationships:
Once you've stopped drinking, you and your loved ones might need to repair your relationships. Your spouse and children might be very happy that you've put down the alcohol, but they might also have resentments for the emotional damage that has been done by your drinking. Making amends isn't easy, but it's an important part of recovery. It's important to listen to what your family has to say and to take responsibility for your actions. Repairing these relationships begins by listening in an non-defensive way, not making excuses, and then expressing a heartfelt apology. Repair doesn't happen over night. You'll need to regain your family's trust over time. But taking these first steps are crucial.
|Early Recovery: Repairing Relationships
Beyond that, even though your spouse might have wanted you to get sober, when you do become sober, this is a change for you and your family. Change, even positive change, can be difficult and stressful. For instance, when you were actively drinking, your spouse might have been the one to make major decisions about money or child rearing. But now that you're sober, you want to participate in the decision making. For your spouse, sharing these responsibilities with you now, after years of doing this on her or his own, isn't easy. And you might need to develop certain skills that you missed developing while you were actively drinking.
Al-Anon for family members:
I usually recommend that spouses of people in alcohol recovery attend Al-Anon to get their own support. It's easy to under estimate the challenges of this stage in a relationship. Developing internal resources, coping skills, learning to overcome codependent behavior, and getting social support are part of what Al-Anon is all about. A relationship is a two-way street. Often, it's easy to point the finger of blame on the person struggling with alcoholism. It's usually harder to see the role of the spouse in this dynamic.The rewards of getting sober:
The challenges of early recovery can be difficult but not insurmountable. The rewards that come with living life as a sober person usually outweigh the challenges. A healthy sense of pride, an increase in self esteem, and an overall sense of well-being are among the benefits you can experience when you decide to stop drinking and get healthy.

"Keep Calm and Carry On"Tuesday, December 20th, 2011
"Keep Calm and Carry On" was a motto used by the British government in 1939, intended to strengthen the morale of the British public in the face of World War II. It could just as easily be used to punch up the spirits of home sellers, especially in the current market in Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Parkland County and the Edmonton area where perfectly good homes can languish on the market for months.
An article in the December 10, 2011 Edmonton Journal, entitled "Park your emotions when selling your home", is one of those "couldn't have said it better myself" articles that I'd like to share with my clients.
Author Marnie Bennett starts by stating that "feelings and emotions muddy home-sale waters. I can't stress enough to keep them as far away from your business decisions as possible." She goes on to outline five "rules" to help sellers detach emotionally from the sale of their home.
Number one on her list is "Choose your agent wisely", opting for a business-like approach that will maximize profits and minimize hassle. Setting the proper price for your home, negotiating from a position of strength, staging your home to show off its best features, and above all, keeping one's emotions out of the deal round out Ms. Bennett's list of rules. We've heard this good solid advice many times before, but it's the kind of advice that deserves to be repeated and heeded by anyone trying to sell a home. Why is this such good advice? I encourage you to read the full article!
If it's time to sell your home, I would be happy to guide you through as stress-free a process as possible. Please call me at 780-910-9669, email me at email@example.com, or contact me here.

Getting rid of calluses in Carol Stream
So many of us are up on our feet throughout the day, whether we are running errands, getting work done, or simply walking around our own homes. Wear and tear can really take its toll on your feet over time, and things like the choice of shoes you wear and what activities you participate in will have some effect on your feet as well. Friction is inevitable and it may occur more often depending on your footwear and what you do, and sometimes things like corns and calluses can develop. Corns and calluses can be very painful, but our Carol Stream podiatrist here at Alm Foot Care can help provide you with the care that you need in order to recover and improve your overall foot health once more.
A corn or a callus develops when the skin grows thicker, usually due to friction and pressure. These layers of skin harden and develop in order to protect itself, but as these areas of skin grow thicker and harder they can become quite uncomfortable in and of themselves. For healthy people, then corns and calluses are not dangerous but may still be a matter of inconvenience or discomfort, so you may want to seek the help of a podiatrist in order to get rid of them safely and effectively. If you happen to have diabetes, however, then calluses and corns may be a more serious health concern. Having diabetes puts you at risk for complications regarding foot problems so it is essential that you get diabetic foot care as soon as possible. Corns and calluses can pose problems for others who may have similar conditions, such as poor blood circulation, which can make corns and calluses potentially dangerous. Here at Alm Foot Care, our Carol Stream podiatrist can provide you with whatever procedures that you may need. Trimming excess skin or the use of certain medicines can be used to get rid of the hardened skin at the location of the corn or callus. Medication can be prescribed to reduce risk of infection, and in some cases surgery can be used as well.
Here at Alm Foot Care, we can help make sure that your feet are in good condition and that any issues that you have are resolved. Our Carol Stream podiatrist can help administer whatever treatment it is that suits you best so that the pain and discomfort from having corns and calluses can be relieved successfully and effectively.

It appeared like this location provided more of a personal, one-on-one approach, and I liked the concept having more personal privacy during this process. So I contacted my buddy and asked if she wants to try it. The minute we walked in the door I could see that not just had business been around for 27 years, a great deal of the furniture and devices had too! Forget computerized accounting programs, this office used a one-write system. When my client stepped on the scale, it was a mechanical scale, not a digital one.

Think About Fast Weight Loss?
Very first let me simply say, I agree with including exercise to any quality diet strategy but who could possibly hold up against the regimens that some of the most popular programs will ask of you? Not to mention "this is not going to be fun at all", not by a long shot! Bear in mind that everyone has a different health level likewise, some of these strategies might do more damage then excellent. If you have one) before buying into one of these types of diets, it is smart to check with your doctor (.
Dieting Bundled
Bear in mind that you wish to prevent very low calorie diet plans. Weight loss 4 Idiots allows 4 meals per day and though it is lower in calories than you would generally eat, it is not too low in calories. The diet resolves combining different food groups at different meals utilizing their moving calorie theory.
Enter into the practice of consuming every 2 to 3 hours or at least five times a day, including healthy treats. As you consume little meals every 2 to 3 hours you constantly have energy and never ever feel sluggish for packing yourself. When you go hours without eating your body will decrease to conserve energy? This might decrease the effectiveness of your personal weight loss program. By consuming often you also supply energy to help live an active healthy lifestyle.
Workout Plan That Fits You

Background: The increase in the occlusal contact area can generate significant stresses on the occlusal surface of a natural tooth as well as the cervical region and in the alveolar crest around this same tooth edge.
Objective: The objective of this study was to study the influence of the increase of the occlusal contact area on the tension generation on a molar tooth and adjacent structures by three-dimensional finite element models.
Methods: A tridimensional model composed of an inferior molar tooth and surrounding structures was fabricated, and a load of 100 N was applied over the occlusal surface on pre-set regions according to an ideal occlusal standard that was previously defined for the study. The diameters of the contact spots on the tooth were increased gradually and varied from 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm to 1.5 mm. The generated tension over those contact spots was analyzed and quantified on pre-set regions of the occlusal marginal crest: the cervical region and the alveolar crestal bone.
Results: The results showed that occlusal contact diameter causes a decrease in the tension level of 33.8% on the marginal crests, a decrease of 20.7% on the alveolar rim interface, and an increase of 44.1% on the cervical region, near the cement enamel junction.
Conclusion: The occlusal contact diameter on the tooth surface had an influence on the tension generated on all analyzed regions.
Dental occlusion; Occlusal adjustments; Occlusal contacts; Finite element analysis
Despite the lengthy study and complex assessment of occlusion, its understanding, diagnosis and treatment remain controversial. There are numerous existing philosophies related to this subject, especially regarding the ideal occlusal contact types for individual subjects.
Edward Angle introduced the first description of occlusal tooth relationships in 1899. Later, in 1922, the first significant concept about the ideal functional occlusion was described: bilateral balanced occlusion. With the evolution of occlusal studies and the performance of long-term and complex rehabilitation, a controversy emerged about the suitability of bilateral balanced occlusion in the natural dentition, thereby generating a new concept named unilateral balanced occlusion [1].
It has been mentioned that the stability of human tooth position depends mainly on the resulting interactions of occlusal contacts, not only of pertinent stomatognathic normal function but also of parafunctional habits, such as bruxism [2].Opposing occlusal contacts of the same intensity should provide the teeth and the mandible with mesiodistal and buccolingual stability from the stopper/equalizer contacts and from the A, B, C contacts [3]. In a clinical study, [4] asymmetry in the quantity and distribution of the occlusal contacts between the sides of the dental arch was observed. Thus, those authors concluded that due to the quantity of unstable contacts, intervention involving the occlusal surfaces should be performed to maintain and/or improve the number of those contacts. Similarly, it was mentioned that when the occlusal contacts are distributed irregularly throughout the dental arch, they are capable of promoting dental motion, generating occlusal instability [5]. The variation of an axial force from zero to 30 degrees and inclined on a molar isolated in the arc promotes a significant increase of four times the force supported by the alveolar bone on the side. This can result in tooth mobility and bone loss adjacent to the pressure received [6].
In an ideal occlusion philosophy, to be stable, an occlusal scheme within a balanced cusp-fossa intercuspal position should present at least one occlusal contact per tooth in order to avoid position changes and occlusal interferences [7,8]. The contacts among molar teeth occur not only between cusp tips and fossae but also between cusp tips and marginal crests [1,9,10].
Some authors have commented [10,11] that with an increase in intermaxillary closing intensity, the number of occlusal contacts between teeth increased linearly at the molar region and in a lower proportion the pre-molar and anterior tooth regions. In contrast, the average calculated from the strengths of the flat occlusal contact area remained unchanged from the bite pressure [12].
In physiological occlusion, the posterior teeth come into contact with their antagonists through the punctate areas, a product of the relationship between two convex areas which, by pathologic or physiologic attrition, would be capable of generating abrasion facets, transforming curves into flat surfaces. The occlusal contact area on the dental surfaces is approximately 3 to 4 mm² in size. With the formation of these facets, the area increases considerably [9,13]. Similarly, it was said that the abrasion facets are derived from excessive biomechanical force on the teeth, are considered to be local injuries, [14] and that these forces could also cause distant injuries, such as muscle pain, dental hypersensitivity, and dental mobility [15]. Individuals with a vertical masticatory cycle, similar to the bite of a carnivorous animal, exhibit wear facets that are smaller than those of individuals with a masticatory cycle that is less vertical and more lateral, similar to the bite of an herbivorous animal [13].
Many methods have been used in the study of occlusal dynamics and of the entire stomatognathic system, aiming to achieve a better comprehension of its biomechanics. Many models have been employed, such as the physical model, [1] a wood jawbone and dry human skull, [16] photoelastic resin models, strain gauges, [17,18] and mathematical models of two models of two or three-dimensional finite elements [19].
For some authors, [20] there are three types of studies that could be performed to assess the mandible's behavior. Among those studies, we can isolate the free-body analysis, which offers power vectors and hypothetical direction, providing a closer idea of the nature of the internal forces acting on the structures. The photoelasticity models offer advantages, such as the easy fabrication and visualization of the internal force effects; however, they do not provide a tridimensional view of the distribution of tension. Finite element analysis (FEA) offers the most precision in describing the intensity, direction and duration of the forces and their effects on the degree of deformation and body motion, as well as the distribution of those forces on the internal and external structures of the model. Because of those features, during the last two decades FEA has been established as a very useful tool for assessing the mechanical behavior of biomaterials and human tissues due to its precision and the reliability of its results, demonstrating great precision in describing the intensity and direction of the forces and the degree of deformation and movement of the bodies, [17,20,21] especially considering the difficulties of assessment in vivo. With this method (FEA), some authors [13,17,21-23], have found that variations in vertical and oblique occlusal loads can generate large cervical stresses very near the cementoenamel junction, creating non-carious cervical lesions (abfractions) and bone loss around the necks of the teeth and / or implants.
The literature lacks information about the relationship between the intensity of occlusal contacts and the occlusal contact area, and more studies are necessary to provide a better understanding of the alterations that this relationship could cause on the stomatognathic system-related structures.
Thus, this study sought to assess, by tridimensional finite element analysis, the generation of tension on the natural tooth and its respective neighboring structures, related to an increase in the occlusal contact area. The null hypothesis states that there will be no difference in the generated tension on the natural teeth and on the alveolar rim, independent of the occlusal contact size.
With the objective of researching the influence of the increase in occlusal contact area, a mathematical model composed of an inferior molar and its respective alveolar bone was developed with the specific industrial design software IronCAD® version 9.0 (IronCAD, Atlanta, Georgia, USA). This system is parametric design software, aimed at generating complex geometric shapes, enabling work with accuracies of microns, which cannot be achieved by some scanner. The mandibular alveolar bone and the natural tooth, along with their embodied structures, were considered to be a solid body, showing homogeneous and isotropic properties. The material is considered isotropic when the mechanical properties are the same, regardless of the direction in which it is requested and homogeneous when there is a uniformity of material characteristics that shape.
This methodology was idealized in this way, aiming at simplifying the model conception process without compromising the final result. Although the periodontal ligament serves as a fundamental structure in absorbing and transmitting the occlusal forces in vivo, considering its deformation and tension using FEA, this structure should only be generated in a model when it is necessary to illustrate its viscoelastoplastic characteristics [24]. Because the models in this study have linear elastic characteristics that are assessed at definite positions, whose hypothesis is that the deformation of elastic bodies is proportional to the force applied, its construction is dispensable without compromising the proposed test results.
Following the basic created geometry and the assumption of the elastic properties from the diverse structure and its associated materials [25], finite element meshes were independently generated for each anatomic structure using SolidWorks® version Office Premium (Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corporation, Concord, Massachusetts, USA) software. For mesh construction, tetrahedral elements were used, with four nodes and three degrees of freedom per node. Therefore, the model was composed of 76,282 elements and 113,429 nodes (Figure 1). The mesh construction takes into account the curvature of the model and this is achieved by the elements used, which are called self-adaptive.
The structures that comprised the model provided free vertical movement and restricted horizontal displacement. This restriction has the objective of avoiding bloc movement after loading.
Static axial charges of 100 N were applied over the occlusal surface of each generated tooth and were distributed with the same intensity. This load was established on the fact that in the case of linear elastic model deformations obtained is directly dependent on the applied load and follows a linear distribution. Considering this fact and being isotropic and linear elastic and especially a comparative study models the charge is totally irrelevant.
The occlusal contact placement was established in a standardized way, considering that the posterior teeth had complete cusp-fossa and cusp-crest contacts of cuspid-fossa type and cuspid-crest type [3]. In this way, a set of contacts was added on the occlusal surface of the finite element model (FEM); one on each marginal crest (mesial and distal) and three tripoidism-type contacts on the central fossa (Figure 2).
For each generated FEM, the diameter of the added contact set varied in each occlusal contact. The occlusal contact diameters that were added over each FEM were 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm and 1.5 mm, which were given the abbreviations FEM-1, FEM-2, FEM-3, respectively.
To verify the influence of the diameter of the contact point on the tension generation on the tooth and its associated structures, three different points were randomly selected at specific regions: at the marginal crest region, at the cervical region of the tooth (cementoenamel junction), and at the alveolar crest bone, as marked with a yellow point (Figures 3-5).
The selection of the regions to be analyzed was based on a qualitative interpretation by a color gradient, which represented maximum and minimum value levels of the tension intensity in a region, with red representing the maximum level and blues the minimum level.
The results of the analysis were calculated and obtained using CosmosWorks® software, 2008 version (Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corporation, Concord, Massachusetts, USA), which helped to establish graphic and number samples for the study.
Based on these results (Table 1), from the occlusal view of FEM-1, specifically at the selected point at the marginal crest, it was observed that the tension was 2.4% higher than that of FEM-2, and this value was 30.7% higher than that of FEM-3. The tension point generated at FEM-1 was 33.8% higher than that of FEM-3.

|Cervical Region
|Alveolar Ridge
Table 1: shows the generated tensions at the different points of interest selected for this study. The mean pooled values are in MPa
Following the same pattern, when we analyzed tension at the cervical region, the tension scores were different when compared to those of the previous location. In this case, the model that obtained the highest tension levels was FEM-3, followed by FEM-2 and FEM-1. Comparing the scores, we observed that the tension generated at FEM-3 was 8.8% higher than that generated at FEM-2 and 44.1% higher than that generated at FEM-1. In the same way, the tension generated at FEM-2 was 32.3% higher than at FEM-1.
At the alveolar bony ridge (crest), the scores differed among the three models: the tension at FEM-1 was 14% higher than at FEM-2 and 20.7% higher than at FEM-3. FEM-2 presented a tension score that was 5.8% higher than that of FEM-3.
The objective of this preliminary study was to assess the effects of the occlusal contact diameter on the generation of tension at distinct regions of a "natural" tooth using FEA. We assumed that this different contact diameter might happen clinically in restorative procedures. Following the analysis of results, the null hypothesis was partially rejected due to the proportional differences between contact size and tension increase in certain situations.
The generated structures in this study, such as the alveolar bone and tooth, showed uniform (isotropic) properties [25]. The finite element mesh on the tetrahedral form was adjusted according to the model's requirements, with its nodes exhibiting three degrees of freedom, thereby increasing its precision. The simplification of the FEM technique, specifically the omission of the periodontal ligament, did not diminish the precision of the data generated by these models [17,21,24,25].
FEA studies show that axial charges can generate uniform tension on the tooth roots, showing a higher concentration of tension at the occlusal surface (contact point) and, in a similar way, on the cervical region, close to the cementoenamel junction; the tension in these regions is higher than that generated on the roots [23-25]. These findings agree with those of this study.
The cusp-marginal ridge (mesiodistal stability) and cusp-fossa (buccolingual stability) points of contact were employed in this work in accord with the philosophy of other authors [1-3,19]. It is unanimous among these authors that the principle of ideal occlusion is related to the presence of stable occlusal contacts, simultaneous and bilateral, with the same intensity and direction, and that the forces are directed toward the long axis of the tooth. In contrast, changes in the slope of the occlusal force increase at four times the strain on the alveolar ridge, regardless of the diameter of the occlusal contact [6].
By studying the diameter of the occlusal contact area, it is possible to assess the dental and periodontal conditions and relate them to the parafunctional habits [14]. Thus, the occlusal contact area for the entire mouth should be 3 to 4 mm2 in size. However, with the appearance of wear facets, this area could reach 2 to 4 mm2 per tooth, or it may even extend across the entire surface of the tooth [1]. Despite the fact that the bite force on the tooth is constant and instantaneous, an increase in this variable would cause a linear increase in the size of the occlusal contact area [10-12]. The diameter of the occlusal contact increases due to functional and/or parafunctional masticatory friction, and if there is a need for restorative treatment or occlusal adjustment, it should not introduce a convex shape, nor should it decrease the occlusal contact area [13], according to the results of this study.
Within the quantitative analysis of the present study and with respect to its limitations, we can conclude that the increase occlusal contacts diameter creates less tension in the region of the alveolar ridge. This increase also increases the probability of causing a noncarious cervical lesion, and the tension levels localized at the marginal crest tend to diminish, minimizing the possibility of tooth fracture. As a suggestions, others researches could add more contact diameters and different shape of teeth.
We would like to thank the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais for assistance in the development of this study.

After 20 plus years working as a psychologist, I decided to pursue a different career in teaching. I have a wonderful family who have supported me in this venture and I have really enjoyed teaching here at Greenwood over the past nine years. My family is very near to my heart; I cherish each and every one of them. I have a wonderfully supportive husband and two daughters. My oldest daughter was involved in a four-wheeling accident in the summer of 2003, and she was in a coma for nine days. We weren't even sure she would survive. Following her release from the hospital, I quit my job as the psychologist for Disabilities and Special Needs and focused on her rehabilitation full time. This has taught me to be thankful for every day that you have on earth and that you need to spend as much time as you can with family and cherish every moment of it. Luckily my oldest daughter has recovered better than expected and I began substituting at the local elementary school approximately two years after her accident. I discovered I truly loved it and began the process of renewing my teaching certificate and adding on Elementary Education. I originally graduated from Winthrop College with a double major in Psychology and Secondary Education. I continued at Winthrop for my graduate work and received my MS in School Psychology. For the past eight years I have been teaching 5th grade and really enjoy it.

This is the last video in this series, the previous one being "Why can't we shoot these kids?" For those of us who are not, and have not been in Iraq, this is one of the few ways we have of "seeing" events on the ground.
This is a group of British soldiers — when and where in Iraq is not specified — and it seems that they are responding to some protesters. A group of young boys is dragged into what appears to be a base, and then pummeled. A large group of fellow troops return from the streets and walk past, and nobody interferes. It may not meet some definitions of "savage brutality" (in which case, pardon me for saying this, but someone needs to get their nuts kicked by an army boot) but I doubt this will "win hearts and minds." For a young boy, one can imagine that this experience will leave a lasting impression. We also do not know what happens after the video ends, whether the boys are released, or further detained, etc.
Unlike the last related post, I should not neglect to mention that there is little someone like myself can do to verify this video, to contextualize it, to interview the troops, and to figure out if the cruel narrative of a man who seems to be having an orgasm at the sight of vanquished boys was added after the video was made by someone who was not present. Personally, I have been given no reason to doubt its authenticity, but one can never be absolutely certain with materials posted on YouTube. Having said that, I thank RAIM for bringing my attention to this video.
And in Canada today, the release of the Guantanamo interrogation tapes of Omar Khadr, captured as a young boy in Afghanistan and abused. This is Canada's continuing scandal of neglect and participation in the violation of the same international laws it claims to hold sacred.

Pic of the Week: 12/23/16
"Icy Sunset"
Date taken: 12/26/12
Location: Iowa Park, TX
Yesterday was the Winter solstice and our temperatures were sitting at a pleasant, but nonseasonal, 69 degrees. This is coming from the previous week which our highs barely topped in the 40s. What's that old saying? "In Texas we have 4 seasons in one week". Sometimes that seems pretty accurate. In fact as I type this post I am simultaneously listening to the forecast on the radio. Looks like it will be rainy and windy during our Christmas. But that's OK. I love Texas weather that is as colorful and unpredictable as the people that inhabit the great state. But truthfully, I feel just a little left out. While most of the northern half will be enjoying a snowy white Christmas and we'll be in a dull gray, rainy mess. I can only think of a handful of Christmases that were white. Some even significant like the 2009 Christmas blizzard! Or the photo down below. Although this one was right after Christmas back in 2012.
Icy Sunset © Ben Jacobi
The snow and ice fell the morning after Christmas and lasted for a few days. I thought about getting up early in the morning to shoot the freshly fallen snow in a sunrise, but I couldn't seem to bring myself from the comfort of my warm bed. I didn't think too much of it until one of my good friends posted an excellent sunrise photo. After seeing his image I decided if the snow stuck around I would drive down to Middle Lake and see if I could catch a nice sunset. The high temperature never reached above freezing so I had high hopes for some snow on the ground. I carefully drove out to Middle Lake traversing the slick back roads and ended up in the parking lot. To my surprise the snow was mostly untouched and a thing layer of ice had formed away from the shore of the lake. The waves became frozen and packed along the edge of the shore. With some careful framing and moving closer to the ice I was able to turn this lake into a wintry landscape. I really love the leading line created by the frozen waves that lead out to the edge of the ice. Vibrant, warm sunset colors intersect the cool blue ice creating tension and helping bring the eye to the wonderful sunset. The clouds in the sky really help give the image more depth and add a nice texture to the overall scene. This is a photo of opposites. There are opposing colors on the color wheel, rough ragged ice vs smooth silky clouds, and lastly the warm and cool temperatures. This was my favorite photo from the sunset and one that I always enjoy seeing. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
